The Minnesota Vikings, currently undefeated heading into Week 7 of the NFL season, will welcome the Detroit Lions to Minneapolis this Sunday. The teams are currently ranked first and second in the NFC North, respectively, but it seems that both teams will be missing several key players this week due to injury, including likely absences from the Vikings’ RB Aaron Jones who is out with a hamstring injury and and the Lions’ cornerback Carlton Davis, offensive lineman Dan Skipper, and safety Brian Branch, all of whom have not participated in practice this week.

How to watch every NFL game this season:

Many NFL games are broadcast on local channels, so if you’re looking to catch an in-market game, it may be as simple as turning on your TV (or setting up a digital TV antenna). A $7/month subscription to NFL+ will get you access to NFL Network which can be great for watching some games, but the downside of NFL+ is that when it comes to the regular season, it’s just local and primetime games (and only on mobile or tablet!). In which case, here’s what we recommend to watch the NFL.

Fubo TV gives you access to ESPN, NFL Network, Fox, ABC, CBS and 100+ more live channels. At $80/month, the live TV streaming service is definitely a big investment for football fans. But it offers nearly every channel you’ll need to watch the NFL season, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package. Fubo subscribers also get 1000 hours of cloud DVR storage.
